A library is the grand place where books live. For those that love reading and collecting literature, a library can be a magical place of the imagination. It's a great place to find volumes on almost every imaginable topic. Library patrons may have a variety of reasons for visiting the library. Why do you visit the library?
John Alfred Landford once said, "No possession can surpass, or even equal a good library, to the lover of books. Here are treasured up for his daily use and delectation, riches which increase by being consumed, and pleasures that never cloy."
Lemony Snicket said, "A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them."
Horace Mann wrote: "A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up children without surrounding them with books.... Children learn to read being in the presence of books."

Libraries are unsurpassed as the gathering places of the intellectually hungry. I desired so greatly to spend all the time I could in a library that I found a job in one. Now books veritably rain upon me. I am inundated with and in awe of all that the library makes available.
I love your articles. Read you later.

Esther, I cannot agree with you more having a collection of about 500 — 600 paperback Penguins, Readers’ Enrichment Series and Progress Publishers books with me, but I am sure that my family will throw them out one day I am no more. My daughter reads only Harry Potter series!
You are absolutely right Esther; Library are the soul of mind.
I appriceate your writings .
